The second episode of facepalm deals with Sega’s 32x add-on system. It kinda came out at a bad time, and failed pretty damn hard. The Saturn was already out in Japan. So nobody really wanted to waste their time with it. Some say that failures such as the 32x led to the impending demise of Sega’s hardware making altogether.
Not to say it was a ‘bad’ system. It had quite a bit of potential. Some games actually look pretty good on it. It’s just sorta ugly, and a whole wrong time/wrong place sort of situation.
Here’s our video for Facepalm Ep. 2 – 32x:
